Doppelganger

i am farther from here than you know
eyes, two sunken pots, shallow reflections
i touch the frame of your face
the fabric of your skin is folded there
but reality is delicate and poised
my mind is a somber flask
time gruels against the cage of my ribs
as my heartbeat hiccups and repeats
these platonic caves capture duck echoes
and our water is breaking
we are gaining speed
i am farther from here than you know
